Hi there friends! It’s time for another episode of Junkin Joe’s Vintage and Thrifty adventures and of course some features and a Linky Party!
Hi there friends, so great to see you all. As you know JJ is a budget of $5 a week for junking…well this week was no different. It was an ok week…let’s see what you think : )
This pretty little vintage Royal Halsey very fine china for was a great find at $.49
Love the gold tipped edges and lattice design…I will put this with my (cough cough) LARGE collection of dishes for an upcoming wall of plates!!!
Now I do believe this was a bit of a steal and a very good deal…a set of 12 vintage tumblers for $2.
A good deal…I am going to be using them to hold crafting supplies…they will look nice with the goblets that I have now and the large array of mason jars : )
Then he bought two vintage bird plaques
…a cardinal and a…
little robin…
they were $2 for the set. I have to admit that they are not my style 🙂 but an interesting pair at a great price!
They even have the original label on them.
Now here is my question…I bow to those of you out there that are much more accomplished than we are in the world of vintage…
do I leave them as is? Or do I repaint them???
Now…let’s see what you guys have been up to!!!
Woman in Real Life found the most adorable little owl…looks like the pickins were pretty good in Ontario!

I wouldn’t touch the birds, they just look so real! Not really my stule either but there is just something about them…
Thanks for hosting, there’s always a few posts that are new to me, great selections! I love to see my cake carrier, fromt and center!! It was one of my best finds!!!
I am so on the fence about the birds! I think I might apply everyone’s advice! I might just not touch the birds…then use the wax on them …but paint the background in a bit more of my style and see what happens!??? I promise I will let you all know when I take the plunge! : ) Thanks for visiting and your cake carrier ROCKS!!!!! hugs…
What fun features! Makes me want to jump in the car and hit the thrifts 🙂 Thanks for hosting…my first time to link up. Enjoy your weekend!
WELCOME CINDY!!!! So happy to have you in the Junkin Joe Family!!!!! You are going to love it here…everyone is just the BEST! sending hugs!!!
Love that porch you featured, Andrea! Wish i had such a wonderful place to sit and relax. But, who am i kidding, between my kids and the mosquitos, i probably wouldn’t get much relaxing done! Lol. It would all be a wonderful space to have. Thanks for the feature and have a great weekend. 🙂
Wow, Andrea, that’s quite a line up of features. Between the French toast, the microwave brownies, Donna’s suitcases, that amazing cake plate and cover and that fan, I just don’t know which is my favorite. I think you should try painting the bird plaques, esp. if you don’t like them as is. Why don’t you start just by painting the background first and then see if that helps them, and then go from there messing with the birds as needed! They could be really cute!

Like I said…Don Draper would be happy to have it and who wouldn’t be happy to have him sitting on it! : ) LOL!!!! Can’t wait to see what you have this week! HUGS…
Last week Junkin’ Joe had finds that had me all sentimental thinking about my dad. And, this week he has things that remind me of my mother. She had those same tumblers. Plus, she adored cardinals! What great finds for not a lot of money!!!
Thanks for featuring my flower pots and for hosting the party. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Hi there my friend. I am glad that good memories come from the finds…it’s a good think when you can remember with a smile and not a tear. I love all of your creations!!! Always enjoy seeing what you are up to next! Have a great one…sending hugs…
Thank you so much for featuring my Flower Bed! Have a wonderful and safe Memorial day week end….hugs, Penny
Oh Penny…the flower bed is AWESOME!!!! It should win an award or something! LOVE IT!!! Have a great weekend and ENJOY!!! hugs…
There’s always so much inspiration to be found here. Thank you so much for featuring my buttons:-)
I have to tell you Betsy…those buttons are amazing! I see tons of bracelets too and TONS of post earrings…they are HOT right now…cease the day! lol!!! hugs …enjoy the weekend
Thanks so much for featuring my microwave mug brownies!
These look so yummy Denise! Can’t wait to try them! Sending hugs and wishes for a wonderful weekend!
Thanks for the feature, Andrea! Have a great weekend!
Denyse…any time I see NO SEW…a BIG smile comes across my face!!!! Great job and the fabrics are amazing! Hugs…enjoy the weekend!
Oh my gosh! Must leave birds “as is”. They are too charming for words and repainting them would destroy their kitschy cuteness.
Thanks for sharing all these great finds. Lots of fodder for my own thrifty madness!
Always wonderful to see you!!! : ) So glad you enjoy coming and getting tons of inspiration!!! Have a great weekend and sending hugs…
Oh my gosh! Must leave birds “as is”. Repainting them would destroy their kitschy cuteness.
Thanks for sharing so many great finds. They’re great inspiration for my own thrifty madness!
Just wax the birds with clear wax. I love this party! All the crazy people who pick junk just like I do! Thanks for the features – I love going back to visit. Have a great weekend.
Hey there Donna! Like I said above…I think I am going combine all the suggestions…wax the birds…and try a bit of a paint job on the background…fingers crossed!!! : ) I am so glad you enjoy this party…it’s small because it is pretty quirky and pin pointed…but it’s fun and I think everyone really likes getting together with people that really appreciate their finds and creations! Hugs…have a great one.
I love the bird plaques. I don’t really like the boards they’re mounted on though. Can you take them off or just paint the boards without painting the birds?
I hear you Jenny…my feeling exactly…that is why the birds are getting waxed and then the backgrounds are getting redone : ) I will share when they are completed. Have a great weekend and sending hugs…
Thanks for the feature my friend 🙂 you are a sweety 🙂
Have you got your package from pakistan? I sent about 8 days back.. let me know when receive 🙂
Hi there my friend…not yet…but I am sure SOON…It is a very long journey! I will let you know the moment it arrives!!! Sending hugs and hope you are having a fabulous weekend…
